From the Lab to the Master's thesis – congratulations, Manuel!

We are proud to share the academic achievement of Manuel Montebelli who has recently obtained a Master’s Degree in Physics – curriculum Materials Physics and Nanoscience.

We first met Manuel during his internship at Istituto Giordano as part of his Bachelor’s Degree. After recognizing and appreciating his dedication and initiative, we were delighted to welcome him to our team, supporting him in continuing his studies while contributing to our work.

For his Master’s Thesis, Manuel studied the adhesion of acrylic paint on metallic and oxidized surfaces, combining atomic-scale computational simulations with experimental tests conducted in our laboratories. This approach underscores the importance of merging theory and practice to gain a deeper understanding of materials and their applications.

Congratulations, Manuel, on this remarkable achievement, ad maiora semper!
